Army of roaches from abroad.

"While questioning the genuineness of the law degrees of some advocates who had approached the top court over senior designations, the chief justice, Justice Surya Kant, lashed out at several bogus advocates in Delhi," and also, "hit out at unemployed youth, comparing them with cockroaches, and suggesting they become media and social media activists critical of the system." The Wire. Later on, CJI "clarified his recent remarks comparing some unemployed youth to 'cockroaches', asserting that his observations had been 'misquoted' and had been specifically aimed at people entering professions using 'fake and bogus degrees'."  TOI. Degrees are not everything. In 2025, "In a major embarrassment, Singapore Supreme Court has quashed an arbitral award against the special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up to manage dedicated freight corridors in India after finding that the tribunal headed by retired CJI Deepak Misra had copied 212 out of 451 paragraphs from two earlier awards involving the same parties but on different issues." The other two judges may not have been "aware of Misra's 'copy-paste' job." TOI. People may appear ignorant despite having legitimate degrees. In July 2025, Prof Binay Panda wrote about "Courses that don't matter, graduates whom no one wants. Almost 20mn college-goers study subjects irrelevant to their future, delinked from what employers demand." TOI. Cockroaches? Azim Premji University's fifth State of Working India report (2026) says that "67% of India's unemployed youth aged 20-29 are graduates i.e. about 11 million people." "Between 2012 and 2019, India's GDP grew 6.7% annually but employment grew 0.1%." And, "The Economic Survey 2024-25 notes that only 8.25% of graduates are employed in roles aligned with their qualifications; nearly half are in elementary or semi-skilled work," wrote Ajit Ranade. Cockroaches? So desperate are the youth for jobs that they pay Rs 3.5 - 4.5 million to people smugglers to be taken into the US illegally by dangerous routes through snake-infested forests, known as the 'dunki' routes. The Wire. Cockroaches? In October 2024, around 3,000 'students', mostly Indians, queued outside Tandoori Flame restaurant in Brampton, Canada for jobs of waiters and servers. NDTV. Cockroaches? On 16 May, an Indian student, Abhijeet Dipke, in the US started a satirical party online which he named the 'Cockroach Janta Party'. wikipedia. "Indian politics has acquired an unusual mascot: the cockroach." Within a few days, it crossed 10 million followers on Instagram, higher than the 8.7 followers of the BJP on Instagram. However, the CJP's X account with 200,000 followers has been withheld in India, apparently "in response to a legal demand". "Its tongue-in-cheek membership criteria include being unemployed, lazy, chronically online and 'the ability to rant professionally'." BBC. However, the hate-filled followers of India's fascist party, mirroring the youth wings of other fascist parties (wikipedia), have reacted with rabid fury. Dipke has been receiving death threats. A screenshot of one message read, "Shut this account down, or join the BJP. Otherwise, will get you killed even in the US." TOI. As a precaution, police have been deployed outside his parents' home in Maharashtra. HT. Union Minister Kiran Rijiju accused CJP of seeking followers from Pakistan. In response Dipke showed over 94% of its Instagram followers were from India. Before the account was hacked. HT. Why such frothing ferocity? Is it perhaps reflecting the truth about India which the fascist party works assiduously to hide? Such a website can only be launched from outside India. Here Dipke won't last 10 seconds. Ram and his vanar sena (monkey army) went from Ayaodhya in India to kill Ravan in Sri Lanka. We hope Dipke with his 'Cockroach' army from abroad can rid us of the fascists. Jai Shri Ram.
